MeToo in Academia

Commences/Duration: 22 August - 30 September 2024
Estimated hours: 50
Location: Flexible (on campus or remote)
Closing date: 15 September 2024

The project: MeToo in Academia 
How did #MeToo alter the cost of collaboration between women and men? Using data on junior academics in economics and finance, research finds that female scholars start fewer projects after #MeToo, primarily due to decreased collaborations with new male co-authors. This trend is not observed among junior male academics or earlier cohorts of junior female academics during a period unaffected by #MeToo.

The role: The Research Assistant will be required to collect data from past cohorts of tenure-track professors at top universities.

Key skills/attributes:

  • Ability to use Excel

Research Assistant Registration for PhD Students

To enhance the connection between PhD students and Research Assistant opportunities at the University of Auckland Business School, we have developed a registration form to streamline the process. This initiative aims to assist academic staff in efficiently identifying suitable candidates for available RA roles. The registration form collects essential information about your research interests, expertise, and availability. The data will contribute to a centralised database, enabling academic staff to consider candidates who align with their project needs as opportunities arise. We encourage all PhD students interested in RA positions to complete the registration form to ensure their details are included in this resource.
